BlackRock Strategic Funds[4]

Dear Shareholders,

I am writing to update you on the activities of BlackRock Strategic Funds (the “Company” or “BSF”) over the twelve months to31 May 2021. The Company offered shares in 33 Funds (each a “Fund” and together the “Funds”) at 31 May 2021.

In early 2020, an outbreak of an infectious respiratory illness caused by a novel coronavirus known as COVID-19 has developedinto a global pandemic, and its impact continued to be felt during the period under review. This coronavirus has resulted in travelrestrictions, closed international borders, enhanced health screenings at ports of entry and elsewhere, disruption of and delays inhealthcare service preparation and delivery, prolonged quarantines, cancellations, supply chain disruptions, and lower consumerdemand, as well as general concern and uncertainty.

The impact of COVID-19 has adversely affected the economies of many nations across the entire global economy, individualissuers and capital markets, and could continue to extents that cannot necessarily be foreseen. In addition, the impact of infectiousillnesses in emerging market countries may be greater due to generally less established healthcare systems. Public health crisescaused by the COVID-19 outbreak may exacerbate other pre-existing political, social and economic risks in certain countries orglobally.

In spite of impressive progress on vaccination across many of the world’s largest countries, the full duration of the COVID-19outbreak and its effects still cannot be determined with certainty, and the pandemic continues to be a major challenge forpolicymakers. Healthcare systems have not yet recovered from the impact and many businesses are still living with significantuncertainty. New virus mutations threaten to increase cases faster than vaccines can stop them. In particular, some emergingmarket countries, such as India and Brazil have seen significant new waves of the virus.

Furthermore, access to vaccines remains severely limited in some parts of the world, which may impede recovery in affected areas.Nevertheless, governments, policymakers and investors alike continue to anticipate some return to normality for economies in thesecond half of 2021.

Within the above context, however, economies have increasingly started to adapt to virus restrictions and there are clear signs ofrecovery. The International Monetary Fund (the “IMF”) is currently predicting the world economy will grow 6.0% in 2021, with Chinaand the United States of America (the “US”) predicted to expand by 8.4% and 6.4% respectively. In general, unemployment has notbeen nearly as bad as some of the dire early predictions, and business failures have been minimal.

Investors now have a new concern: inflation. The most recent Consumer Price Index figures from the US showed inflation rising5.0% year on year, the strongest increase since 2008. This comes on top of a 4.2% rise the previous month. The inflation shock hasbeen felt in bond markets, which have started to price in higher inflation figures. It also disrupted the long-term strength of thetechnology sector, which has benefited from ‘lower for longer’ interest rate expectations.

The Federal Reserve (the “Fed”) continues to believe that inflation will moderate in the second half of the year as the immediateeconomic bounce-back fades. However, businesses are increasingly reporting supply bottlenecks, rising prices for commodities andlabour shortages. If this is the case, central banks may be forced to reconsider their current policy, raising interest rates to sloweconomic growth and curb inflationary threats.

For the time being, economies continue to be well supported by the actions of governments and central banks. Interest rates remainlow across the world, and governments have directed significant capital towards support for individuals and new infrastructurebuilding, particularly for the clean energy transition. During the period under review, new US president Joe Biden signed a furtherUSD 1.9 trillion COVID-19 relief bill, while also promising trillions more in infrastructure spending.

Markets also continued to rally over this period, encouraged by the vaccine progress. However, from November onwards, as vaccineresults were announced, this progress was firmly rooted in the ‘recovery’ stocks, such as energy, financials or travel, rather than thehigh growth technology stocks that led for much of 2020.

Environmental, social and governance (�ESG�) factors are becoming increasingly important for regulators, policymakers andinvestors. BlackRock has a firm-wide commitment to integrate ESG information into our investment processes, including this rangeof funds. We believe that sustainability and climate-integrated portfolios can provide better risk-adjusted returns to investors overthe long-term, and that sustainability-related data provides an increasingly important set of tools to identify unpriced risks andopportunities within portfolios.

Chairwoman’s Letter to ShareholdersMay 2021

Annual report and audited financial statements [5]

The performances of the Funds are covered in more detail in the Investment Advisers’ Report, which also sets out some viewsregarding the investment outlook. Overall, the Company’s assets under management (“AUM”) rose 14.5% from USD 23,870 millionto USD 27,315 million. Three funds closed over the period – BlackRock European Diversified Equity Absolute Return Fund,BlackRock Asia Extension Fund and BlackRock Macro Opportunities Fund. One fund launched during the period - BlackRock ESGEuro Bond Fund.

The strongest percentage growth was seen with BlackRock Global Real Asset Securities Fund, which climbed 228.3% to USD315.2 million. BlackRock Global Equity Absolute Return Fund also saw strong growth, rising 214.4% to USD 70.6 million.BlackRock Fixed Income Credit Strategies Fund was also strong, in spite of a difficult climate for fixed income, rising 187.3% toEUR 385.4 million.

The weak spots included BlackRock Style Advantage Fund, which lost 91.7% of its AUM, falling to USD 178.5 million. TheBlackRock Managed Index Portfolios range were also not the strongest performers, with the Conservative portfolio falling 34.7% toEUR 101.7 m, and the Defensive fund falling 21.6% to EUR 159.2 million

Regulatory change continued throughout Europe, which could have implications for investors. Key developments during the periodincluded:

� The European Supervisory Authorities (ESAs) published a consultation paper in October 2019 on the content of Packaged RetailInvestment and Insurance-based Investment Products (“PRIIPs”) Key Information Documents (KIDs). The paper focuses onperformance scenarios and costs. The Company will benefit from the transitional period available for a UCITS fund until 1 July2022.

� The EU’s consultation on the new Sustainable Finance Disclosure Regulation (“SFDR”) came into effect in March 2021. Itimposes new transparency and reporting obligations on investment management firms, both at a firm-wide level and at a productlevel. Certain parts of the framework are still under consultation and are likely to be finalised later this year. At the same time, theEU is working on an EU-wide classification system or ’framework’. This taxonomy is designed to provide businesses and investorswith a common language to identify to what degree economic activities can be considered environmentally sustainable. There arealso moves to improve reporting, with the Corporate Sustainability Reporting Directive (“CSRD”) currently in discussions. TheLuxembourg government recently took further steps to encourage investment in environmentally sustainable funds, reducing the‘taxe d’abonnement’ (subscription tax) for funds that meet certain environmental criteria.

� In June 2020, the European Securities and Markets Authority (“ESMA”) issued a supervisory briefing aimed at local regulators,looking at the supervision of costs and charges applicable to UCITS funds and Alternative Investment Funds. Costs can have asignificant impact on final returns for investors and, with this issuance, ESMA looks to ensure that charges on retail investmentproducts is fair and transparent, with an emphasis on prevention of undue costs.

BlackRock Strategic Funds[6]

Market ReviewThe 12 months under review have largely been characterised bya recovery in markets, after the significant pandemic-relatedsell-offs. This market recovery has come in spite of mixedeconomic data and ongoing lockdowns, but accelerated andbroadened out once it was clear that the vaccines were likely tobe effective in halting the pandemic.

There were two clear periods in markets: much of 2020 wascharacterised by the strength of growth stocks and, in particular,those companies that benefited from lockdowns, which forced anew dependency on technology. This resulted in e-commerce,cloud computing and communication technology groups thriving.

In contrast, the leisure, high street retail and hospitality sectorswere hard hit initially. These sectors recovered significantly afterthe news of successful vaccines emerged. However it was toolate for a number of vulnerable companies - Hertz, Flybe, IntuProperties and department stores JC Penney and Lord & Taylorhave all filed for bankruptcy.

Inflation started to become an important factor in markets aseconomic recovery took hold. Bottlenecks in the supply of vitalgoods, such as commodities and semiconductors, conspiredwith pent-up demand from consumers and significantgovernment infrastructure spending to push up prices. The USsaw consumer price index (�CPI�) inflation figures of 4.2% and5% in April and May 2021 respectively. The US Federal Reserve(the “Fed”) continues to insist that the changes are ‘transitory’,but plenty of investors are not convinced.

These inflationary pressures have been felt across both bondand equity markets. They pushed up yields, which moveinversely to prices, on long-dated government bonds during thefirst quarter of 2021, though this has stabilised subsequently.Inflationary pressure was also another negative for the highlyrated technology sector, whose lofty valuations have to someextent been justified by low long-term interest rates.

ESG – sustainable factors ‘environmental’, ‘social’ and‘governance’ - became more important considerations for manyinvestors during the period under review, and this is likely tocontinue. Also, many ‘green’ companies were beneficiaries ofthe drive from governments to ‘build back better’, whichsupported share prices. At a time when flows into mutual fundswere generally lacklustre, ESG funds continued to attractinvestors.

It was a tough period for income seekers. Dividends were hithard, particularly in the US and United Kingdom, as companieseither could not make a distribution, or sought to conserve cashat an uncertain time. There were also regulatory pressures onsome companies to halt payments. By September 2020,companies had started to resume payouts as they had morevisibility on earnings, but it was a slow process.

Government bond yields, which move inversely to prices, initiallybenefited from a flight to quality and loosening monetary policyfrom global central banks. The US 10-year treasury dropped

from around 1.9% at the start of 2020 to 0.7% in early March,and remained near that level for the remainder of the year underreview. However, they rose rapidly as investors started to fearinflation, hitting 1.75% in March 2021. Corporate bonds saw asignificant widening of spreads (the difference in yield betweengovernment and corporate bonds with similar maturities) in theearly part of the crisis, but have recovered since.

OutlookBy the end of May 2021, the COVID-19 vaccine rollout waswell-established, albeit with varying degrees of success indifferent countries. While many major economies had themajority of their vulnerable citizens vaccinated, with theresulting decline in the number of hospital admissions anddeaths, outbreaks in India and Brazil showed that the world wasstill vulnerable to new variants of the virus.

Nevertheless, the world economy continues to revive. AtBlackRock, we believe a powerful economic restart is underway.The IMF has forecast that world output will increase by 6.0% in2021, with the US expanding by 6.4% and China by 8.4%.

With this growth, however, comes the potential for inflation; thisis increasingly being reflected in financial markets. We expectinflation to build steadily over the medium-term as easymonetary policy allows the US economy to run hot. For the timebeing, although statements from the Fed have noted that higherinflation is “transitory”, there are still concerns pressures mayendure.

It is also clear that COVID-19 has accelerated profound shifts inhow economies and societies operate. There is a growing drivefor sustainability and to address issues, such as inequality. In

this new environment, it is plausible that a new model ofcapitalism may emerge. Many technological shifts, such asdigitisation and e-commerce, appear permanent, while parts ofthe healthcare market have seen a revolution. The extent ofthese changes and their impact may not be clear for some time.

Sectors on the right side of the ‘new normal’, such astechnology and healthcare, should have a notable tailwind.COVID-19 has also changed the geopolitical landscape. Supplychains are getting shorter, rolling back a decades’-longglobalisation trend that has gradually lowered inflation andexpanded corporate profit margins.

The shift toward sustainable investing is another important andenduring change. In his 2021 letter to the CEOs of companies inwhich BlackRock invests client assets, BlackRock CEO LarryFink said: “The past year saw major net zero commitments byChina, the European Union, Japan, and South Korea, and lastweek the US re-joined the Paris Agreement. More and morefinancial regulators are making climate risk disclosuremandatory, central banks are stress testing for climate risk, andpolicymakers around the world are collaborating to achievecommon climate goals. 127 governments – responsible for morethan 60% of the world’s emissions – and over 1,100 companiesare considering or already implementing net zero commitments.These changes will have dramatic impacts for investors.”Companies are increasingly judged on their environmentalfootprint, and overall sustainability agenda, and as such, theseconsiderations need to form part of the assessment of anyinvestment.

The world that emerges from the COVID-19 pandemic is unlikelyto be the same as the one that went in. Investors need toprepare for a new normal. This pandemic has delivered aprofound and enduring shock to the global economy, and therepercussions will be felt for many years to come.

BlackRock Strategic Funds[14]

The below disclosures are made in respect of the remunerationpolicies of the BlackRock group (�BlackRock�), as they apply toBlackRock (Luxembourg) S.A. (the �Manager�). The disclosuresare made in accordance with the Directive 2009/65/EC on thecoordination of laws, regulations and administrative provisionsrelating to undertakings for collective investment in transferablesecurities (“UCITS”), as amended, including in particular byDirective 2014/91/EU of the European Parliament and of thecouncil of 23 July 2014, (the “Directive”), and the �Guidelines onsound remuneration policies under the UCITS Directive andAIFMD� issued by the European Securities and MarketsAuthority.

BlackRock’s UCITS Remuneration Policy (the “UCITSRemuneration Policy”) will apply to the European EconomicArea (“EEA”) entities within the BlackRock Group authorised asa management company of UCITS funds in accordance with theDirective, and will ensure compliance with the requirements ofArticle 14b of the Directive.

The Manager has adopted the UCITS Remuneration Policy, asummary of which is set out below.

Remuneration GovernanceBlackRock’s remuneration governance in EMEA operates as atiered structure which includes: (a) the ManagementDevelopment and Compensation Committee (“MDCC”) (which isthe global, independent remuneration committee for BlackRock,Inc. and (b) the Manager’s board of directors (the “Manager’sBoard”). These bodies are responsible for the determination ofBlackRock’s remuneration policies.

(a) MDCCThe MDCC’s purposes include:

providing oversight of:� BlackRock’s executive compensation programmes;� BlackRock’s employee benefit plans; and� such other compensation plans as may be established by

BlackRock from time to time for which the MDCC is deemedas administrator;

� reviewing and discussing the compensation discussion andanalysis included in the BlackRock, Inc. annual proxystatement with management and approving the MDCC’sreport for inclusion in the proxy statement;

� reviewing, assessing and making reports andrecommendations to the BlackRock, Inc. Board of Directors(the “BlackRock, Inc. Board”) as appropriate on BlackRock’stalent development and succession planning, with theemphasis on performance and succession at the highestmanagement levels; and

� supporting the boards of the Company’s EMEA regulatedentities in meeting their remuneration-related obligations byoverseeing the design.

The MDCC directly retains its own independent compensationconsultant, Semler Brossy Consulting Group LLC, who has norelationship with BlackRock, Inc. or the BlackRock, Inc. Board

that would interfere with its ability to provide independent adviceto the MDCC on compensation matters.

The BlackRock, Inc. Board has determined that all of themembers of the MDCC are “independent” within the meaning ofthe listing standards of the New York Stock Exchange (NYSE),which requires each meet a “non-employee director” standard.

The MDCC held 9 meetings during 2020. The MDCC charter isavailable on BlackRock, Inc.’s website (www.blackrock.com).

Through its regular reviews, the MDCC continues to be satisfiedwith the principles of BlackRock’s compensation policy andapproach.

(b) The Manager’s BoardThe Manager’s Board has the task of supervising and providingoversight of the UCITS Remuneration Policy as it applies to theManager and its Identified Staff.

The Manager’s Board (through independent review by therelevant control functions) remains satisfied with theimplementation of the UCITS Remuneration Policy as it appliesto the Manager and its Identified Staff.

Decision-making processRemuneration decisions for employees are made once annuallyin January following the end of the performance year. Thistiming allows full-year financial results to be considered alongwith other non-financial goals and objectives. Although theframework for remuneration decision-making is tied to financialperformance, significant discretion is used to determineindividual variable remuneration based on achievement ofstrategic and operating results and other considerations such asmanagement and leadership capabilities.

No set formulas are established and no fixed benchmarks areused in determining annual incentive awards. In determiningspecific individual remuneration amounts, a number of factorsare considered including non-financial goals and objectives andoverall financial and investment performance. These results areviewed in the aggregate without any specific weighting, andthere is no direct correlation between any particularperformance measure and the resulting annual incentive award.The variable remuneration awarded to any individual(s) for aparticular performance year may also be zero.

Annual incentive awards are paid from a bonus pool.

The size of the projected bonus pool, including cash and equityawards, is reviewed throughout the year by the MDCC and thefinal total bonus pool is approved after year-end. As part of thisreview, the MDCC receives actual and projected financialinformation over the course of the year as well as final year-endinformation. The financial information that the MDCC receivesand considers includes the current year projected incomestatement and other financial measures compared with prioryear results and the current year budget. The MDCCadditionally reviews other metrics of BlackRock’s financial

Report on Remuneration (Unaudited)

Annual report and audited financial statements [15]

performance (e.g., net inflows of AUM and investmentperformance) as well as information regarding market conditionsand competitive compensation levels.

The MDCC regularly considers management’s recommendationas to the percentage of preincentive operating income that willbe accrued and reflected as a compensation expensethroughout the year for the cash portion of the total annualbonus pool (the “accrual rate”). The accrual rate of the cashportion of the total annual bonus pool may be modified by theMDCC during the year based on its review of the financialinformation described above. The MDCC does not apply anyparticular weighting or formula to the information it considerswhen determining the size of the total bonus pool or theaccruals made for the cash portion of the total bonus pool.

Following the end of the performance year, the MDCC approvesthe final bonus pool amount.

As part of the year-end review process the Enterprise Risk andRegulatory Compliance departments report to the MDCC onany activities, incidents or events that warrant consideration inmaking compensation decisions.

Individuals are not involved in setting their own remuneration.

Control functionsEach of the control functions (Enterprise Risk, Legal &Compliance, and Internal Audit) has its own organisationalstructure which is independent of the business units. The headof each control function is either a member of the GlobalExecutive Committee (“GEC”), the global managementcommittee, or has a reporting obligation to the Board ofDirectors of BlackRock Group Limited, the parent company ofall of BlackRock’s EMEA regulated entities, including theManager.

Functional bonus pools are determined with reference to theperformance of each individual function. The remuneration ofthe senior members of control functions is directly overseen bythe MDCC.

Link between pay and performanceThere is a clear and well-defined pay-for-performancephilosophy and compensation programmes which are designedto meet the following key objectives as detailed below:

� appropriately balance BlackRock’s financial results betweenshareholders and employees;

� attract, retain and motivate employees capable of makingsignificant contributions to the long-term success of thebusiness;

� align the interests of senior employees with those ofshareholders by awarding BlackRock Inc.’s stock as asignificant part of both annual and long-term incentiveawards;

� control fixed costs by ensuring that compensation expensevaries with profitability;

� link a significant portion of an employee’s total compensationto the financial and operational performance of the businessas well as its common stock performance;

� discourage excessive risk-taking; and

� ensure that client interests are not negatively impacted byremuneration awarded on a short-term, mid-term and/orlong-term basis.

Driving a high-performance culture is dependent on the ability tomeasure performance against objectives, values andbehaviours in a clear and consistent way. Managers use a5-point rating scale to provide an overall assessment of anemployee’s performance, and employees also provide aself-evaluation. The overall, final rating is reconciled during eachemployee’s performance appraisal. Employees are assessed onthe manner in which performance is attained as well as theabsolute performance itself.

In keeping with the pay-for-performance philosophy, ratings areused to differentiate and reward individual performance – butdon’t pre-determine compensation outcomes. Compensationdecisions remain discretionary and are made as part of theyear-end compensation process.

When setting remuneration levels other factors are considered,as well as individual performance, which may include:

� the performance of the Manager, the funds managed by theManager and/or the relevant functional department;

� factors relevant to an employee individually; relationships withclients and colleagues; teamwork; skills; any conduct issues;and, subject to any applicable policy, the impact that anyrelevant leave of absence may have on contribution to thebusiness);

� the management of risk within the risk profiles appropriate forBlackRocks clients;

� strategic business needs, including intentions regardingretention;

� market intelligence; and

� criticality to business.

A primary product tool is risk management and, whileemployees are compensated for strong performance in theirmanagement of client assets, they are required to manage riskwithin the risk profiles appropriate for their clients. Therefore,employees are not rewarded for engaging in high-risktransactions outside of established parameters. Remunerationpractices do not provide undue incentives for short-termplanning or short-term financial rewards, do not rewardunreasonable risk and provide a reasonable balance betweenthe many and substantial risks inherent within the business ofinvestment management, risk management and advisoryservices.

BlackRock Strategic Funds[16]

BlackRock operates a total compensation model forremuneration which includes a base salary, which is contractual,and a discretionary bonus scheme.

BlackRock operates an annual discretionary bonus scheme.Although all employees are eligible to be considered for adiscretionary bonus, there is no contractual obligation to makeany award to an employee under its discretionary bonusscheme. In exercising discretion to award a discretionary bonus,the factors listed above (under the heading “Link between payand performance”) may be taken into account in addition to anyother matters which become relevant to the exercise ofdiscretion in the course of the performance year.

Discretionary bonus awards for all employees, includingexecutive officers, are subject to a guideline that determines theportion paid in cash and the portion paid in BlackRock, Inc.stock and subject to additional vesting/clawback conditions.Stock awards are subject to further performance adjustmentthrough variation in BlackRock, Inc.’s share price over thevesting period. As total annual compensation increases, agreater portion is deferred into stock. The MDCC adopted thisapproach in 2006 to substantially increase the retention valueand shareholder alignment of the compensation package foreligible employees, including the executive officers. The portiondeferred into stock vests into three equal instalments over thethree years following grant.

Supplementary to the annual discretionary bonus as describedabove, equity awards may be made to select individuals toprovide greater linkage with future business results. Theselong-term incentive awards have been established individually toprovide meaningful incentive for continued performance over amulti-year period recognising the scope of the individual’s role,business expertise and leadership skills.

Selected senior leaders are eligible to receiveperformance-adjusted equity-based awards from the“BlackRock Performance Incentive Plan” (“BPIP”). Awards madefrom the BPIP have a three-year performance period based on ameasurement of As Adjusted Operating Margin(1) and OrganicRevenue Growth(2) Determination of pay-out will be madebased on the firm’s achievement relative to target financialresults at the conclusion of the performance period. Themaximum number of shares that can be earned is 165% of theaward in those situations where both metrics achievepre-determined financial targets. No shares will be earnedwhere the firm’s financial performance in both of the abovemetrics is below a pre-determined performance threshold.These metrics have been selected as key measures ofshareholder value which endure across market cycles.

A limited number of investment professionals have a portion oftheir annual discretionary bonus (as described above) awardedas deferred cash that notionally tracks investment in selectedproducts managed by the employee. The intention of these

awards is to align investment professionals with the investmentreturns of the products they manage through the deferral ofcompensation into those products. Clients and externalevaluators have increasingly viewed more favourably thoseproducts where key investors have “skin in the game” throughsignificant personal investments.

Identified StaffThe UCITS Remuneration Policy sets out the process that willbe applied to identify staff as Identified Staff, being categories ofstaff of the Manager, including senior management, risk takers,control functions and any employee receiving total remunerationthat takes them into the same remuneration bracket as seniormanagement and risk takers, whose professional activities havea material impact on the risk profiles of the ManagementCompany or of the funds it manages.

The list of Identified Staff will be subject to regular review, beingformally reviewed in the event of, but not limited to:

� organisational changes;

� new business initiatives;

� changes in significant influence function lists;

� changes in role responsibilities; and

� revised regulatory direction.

Quantitative Remuneration Disclosure (for Ireland, the UKand Luxembourg)The Manager is required under UCITS to make quantitativedisclosures of remuneration. These disclosures are made in linewith BlackRock’s interpretation of currently available regulatoryguidance on quantitative remuneration disclosures. As market orregulatory practice develops BlackRock may consider itappropriate to make changes to the way in which quantitativeremuneration disclosures are calculated. Where such changesare made, this may result in disclosures in relation to a fund notbeing comparable to the disclosures made in the prior year, or inrelation to other BlackRock fund disclosures in that same year.

Disclosures are provided in relation to (a) the staff of theManager; (b) staff who are senior management; and (c) staffwho have the ability to materially affect the risk profile of theCompany, including individuals who, although not directlyemployed by the Manager, are assigned by their employer tocarry out services directly for the Manager.

All individuals included in the aggregated figures disclosed arerewarded in line with BlackRock’s remuneration policy for theirresponsibilities across the relevant BlackRock business area. Asall individuals have a number of areas of responsibilities, onlythe portion of remuneration for those individuals’ servicesattributable to the Company is included in the aggregate figuresdisclosed.

(1) As Adjusted Operating Margin: As reported in BlackRock’s external filings, reflects adjusted Operating Income divided by Total Revenue net of distribution and servicing expenses and

amortisation of deferred sales commissions.

(2) Organic Revenue Growth: Equal to net new base fees plus net new Aladdin revenue generated in the year (in dollars).

2. Summary of Significant Accounting PoliciesThe financial statements have been prepared in accordancewith generally accepted accounting principles in Luxembourgand with the legal and regulatory requirements relating to thepreparation of the financial statements as prescribed by theLuxembourg authorities for Luxembourg UCITS and include thefollowing significant accounting policies:

(a) Valuation of Investments, Other Assets and Other Liabilities

The Company’s investments, other assets and other liabilitiesare valued as follows:

� transferable securities which are admitted to an officialexchange listing or dealt in on another regulated market, arevalued on the basis of the latest available price prevailing onthe valuation date. For securities traded on markets closingafter the time of the valuation, last known prices as of thistime or such other time may be used. Where such securitiesor other assets are quoted or dealt in, on or by more than onestock exchange or regulated market, the Board may in itsdiscretion select one of such stock exchanges or regulatedmarkets for such purposes. Discrepancies in the value ofsecurities may result, for example, where the underlyingmarkets are closed for business at the time of calculating theNAV of certain Funds or where governments chose to imposefiscal or transaction charges on foreign investment. As aresult, the Board have implemented fair value techniques inorder to estimate the fair value of these investments. Suchsecurities and derivatives shall be valued at their probablerealisation value as determined by the competent persons(the Directors). Because of the inherent uncertainty in the fair

Notes to the Financial Statements

BlackRock Strategic Funds[590]

value process, these estimated values may significantly differfrom the values that would have been used had a readymarket for the securities existed, and from the values that maybe ultimately recovered;

� for non-quoted securities or securities not traded or dealt in onany stock exchange or other regulated market (includingsecurities of closed-ended investment funds), as well asquoted or non-quoted securities on such other markets forwhich no valuation price is available, or securities for whichthe quoted prices are, in the opinion of the Board, notrepresentative of the fair market value, the value shall bedetermined prudently and in good faith by the Board on thebasis of their expected disposal or acquisition price;

� if in any case a particular value is not ascertainable by themethods outlined above, or if the Board considers that someother method of valuation more accurately reflects the fairvalue of the relevant security or other asset for the purposeconcerned, the method of valuation of the security or otherasset will be such as the Board in their absolute discretiondecides. Discrepancies in the value of securities may result,for example, where the underlying markets are closed forbusiness at the time of calculating the NAV of certain Funds.In such cases the Board may set specific thresholds, that,where exceeded, result in an adjustment to the value of thesesecurities to their fair value by applying a specific indexadjustment. Additionally, where governments choose toimpose fiscal or transaction charges on foreign investment,the Board may adjust the NAV to reflect such charges;

� as at 31 May 2021, the adjusted fair value applied to certainsecurities and/or derivatives are disclosed in the table below:

Fund Currency Fair value% of Net

Assets

BlackRock Americas Diversified EquityAbsolute Return Fund USD (1,884,137) (0.27)BlackRock Asia Pacific Absolute ReturnFund USD 1,813,155 5.23BlackRock Asia Pacific Diversified EquityAbsolute Return Fund USD 121,991 0.35BlackRock European Absolute Return Fund EUR 10 0.00BlackRock European OpportunitiesExtension Fund EUR 0 0.00BlackRock Global Equity Absolute ReturnFund USD 1,300,780 1.84BlackRock Global Event Driven Fund USD 4,728,655 0.08BlackRock Style Advantage Screened Fund USD 0 0.00BlackRock Systematic Global Long/ShortEquity Fund USD 0 0.00BlackRock UK Equity Absolute ReturnFund GBP (11,262) (0.01)

� for certain Funds which have terminated operations and heldilliquid securities at the termination dates, the market value ofthe illiquid securities were provided for against the net assetvalue of each respective Fund. This effectively wrote down thevalue of the securities to zero, and recognised the loss in theStatement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets within�Net realised gain/(loss) on investments� during the financialyear in which the termination occurred. As at 31 May 2021,BlackRock Latin American Opportunities Fund (terminated on

8 March 2019) and BlackRock Multi-Manager AlternativeStrategies Fund (terminated on 13 May 2019) held openilliquid positions, which together accounted for less than1.00% of the net asset value of the Funds as at the lastValuation Point prior to each Fund’s date of termination. If theilliquid securities are subsequently disposed of, or a value isrealised, this will be distributed to the shareholders of therespective Funds proportionate to each shareholder’s holdingin the Fund as at the date of termination;

� investments in open-ended collective investment schemes arevalued on the basis of the last available NAV of the units orshares of such collective investment scheme;

� certain Funds may decide to issue Share Classes which havedifferent valuation points, termed “Snap” and “Close”. The“Snap” valuation point takes a value at a time other than atmarket close, and the “Close” valuation point takes the valuebased on market closing prices. Consequently, the net assetvalues and performance per Share of such Share Classes areexpected to differ from each other as a result of theapplication of different valuation points. During the year ended31 May 2021, X Class non-distributing AUD hedged ofBlackRock Style Advantage Fund adopted a dual valuationpoint. This has resulted in a variation between this Fund’sNAVs as calculated under Snap and Close valuation points.The NAV of this Fund presented in the Statement of NetAssets is calculated using the Snap valuation point. As at31 May 2021, the percentage variation between the Fund’sSnap and Close NAVs is 1.30%. As at 31 May 2021, the NAVand NAV per share of X Class non-distributing AUD hedged atthe Snap valuation point is AUD 28,272,345 and AUD 81.21.As at 31 May 2021, the NAV and NAV per share of X Classnon-distributing AUD hedged at the Close valuation point isAUD 31,262,857 and AUD 89.80;

� securities lending: securities are delivered to a third partybroker in accordance with lending agent instructions andcontinue to be valued as part of the portfolios of the Funds;

� liquid assets such as time deposits and money marketinstruments are valued at amortised cost which approximatestheir fair value;

� cash at bank and other assets are valued at their nominalamount;

� assets which include, in particular, cash owned to bank,interest and dividends receivable, receivable for investmentssold and receivable for Fund shares subscribed are valued atnominal value unless it appears unlikely that such nominalamount is obtainable;

� liabilities which include, in particular, interest and dividendspayable, income distribution payable, payable for investmentspurchased and payable for Fund shares redeemed are valuedat their nominal value.

� The financial statements have been prepared on a goingconcern basis of accounting, except for BlackRock TotalAdvantage Fund, which was put into liquidation on 24 August2021. The application of the non-going concern basis ofaccounting has not led to material adjustments to thePortfolio’s published NAV.

� interest income/expense is accrued daily and includes theamortisation on a straight line basis of premiums andaccretion on a straight line basis of discounts;

� bank interest, fixed deposit and money market deposit interestincome are recognised on an accrual basis;

� dividend income is accrued on the ex-dividend date and isshown net of withholding tax;

� securities lending income is recognised on an accrual basis;

� negative yield expense on financial assets relating to interestfrom a negative effective interest rate on assets held isaccreted daily and is recognised in the Statement ofOperations and Changes in Net Assets over the life of theunderlying instrument;

� the interest rate of any perpetual bonds in the Portfolio ofInvestments disclosed under the description is the interestrate applicable at the year end and is for information only asthese are bonds with a variable interest rate.

(d) Financial Derivative Instruments

During the year, the Funds have entered into a number offorward foreign exchange transactions and futures contracts.Open forward foreign exchange transactions and futurescontracts are valued at the fair market value to close thecontracts on the valuation date. Surpluses/deficits arising fromthese and unsettled contracts are taken to unrealisedappreciation/(depreciation) and are included under assets orliabilities (as appropriate) in the Statement of Net Assets. Thenet change in unrealised appreciation or depreciation and thenet realised gains or losses on settlement or closingtransactions of forward foreign exchange transactions andfutures contracts are presented in the Statement of Operationsand Changes in Net Assets.

The Funds can write covered call and put options or swaptionsand purchase call and put options or swaptions. When theFunds write and/or purchase an option or a swaption, anamount equal to the premium received or paid by the Funds isreflected as a liability or an asset. The liability for a writtenoption or swaption and the asset for a purchased option orswaption is subsequently marked to market to reflect the currentvalue of the option or the swaption. When a security is sold orbought through an exercise of an option or a swaption, thepremium received (or paid) is deducted from (or added to) thebasis of the security sold or bought. When an option or aswaption expires (or the Funds enter into a closing transaction),

the Funds realise a gain or loss on the option or the swaption tothe extent of the premiums received or paid (or gain or loss tothe extent the cost of the closing transactions exceeds premiumpaid or received). For futures-style options, the Funds do notprepay the premium. The Funds post margin as in a futurescontract, and the option premium is marked to market daily. Thepurchased options/swaptions at market value and writtenoptions/swaptions at market value are included under assets orliabilities (as appropriate) in the Statement of Net Assets. Thenet change in unrealised appreciation or depreciation and thenet realised gains or losses on expiration or closing transactionsof options or swaptions are presented in the Statement ofOperations and Changes in Net Assets.

During the year, the Funds have entered into Contracts fordifference (“CFDs”). CFDs allow investors to take synthetic longor synthetic short positions with a variable margin. Unlikeshares, with CFDs the buyer is potentially liable for far morethan the amount they paid on margin.

CFDs positions are entered into subject to a daily financingcharge, applied at a previously agreed rate above or below theapplicable benchmark. The related interest income or expenseis accrued daily and disclosed as Contracts for differenceinterest in a net position in the Statement of Operations andChanges in Net Assets. Interest income receivable and expensepayable is disclosed in a net position as �Interest and dividendsreceivable� or �Interest and dividends payable� in the Statementof Net Assets.

CFDs positions are subject to dividend receipts or payments insuch cases where a position is held on the day a dividend hasbeen declared. The related dividend income or expense isaccrued on the ex-dividend date and disclosed net ofwithholding tax as Contracts for difference dividends, net ofwithholding taxes in the Statement of Operations and Changesin Net Assets. Dividend income receivable and expense payableis disclosed in a net position as �Interest and dividendsreceivable� or �Interest and dividends payable� in the Statementof Net Assets.

The fair market value of the CFDs is determined by the tradedprice on the exchange on which the underlying securities orother assets are traded or admitted for trading. For underlyingsecurities traded on markets closing after the time of thevaluation, last known prices as of this time or such other timemay be used.

The net unrealised appreciation and net unrealised depreciationon Contracts for difference is included under assets or liabilities(as appropriate) in the Statement of Net Assets.

The change in market value, if any, is recorded as net change inunrealised appreciation or depreciation in the Statement ofOperations and Changes in Net Assets. Net realised gains orlosses on reset or termination of the CFDs are presented in theStatement of Operations and Changes in Net Assets.

Net realised gains and losses on sales of CFDs have beendetermined on the basis of the First In First Out (“FIFO”) costmethod.

The Funds had unsettled CFD transactions as of 31 May 2021,which are included within �Receivable for investments sold� and�Payable for investments purchased� in the Statement of NetAssets. CFDs are separately disclosed in the Portfolio ofInvestments.

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

BlackRock Strategic Funds[592]

The Funds may enter into Swap transactions (“swaps”), in whichthe Funds and a counterparty agree to make periodic netpayments on a specified notional amount. Swap transactionsare privately negotiated in the OTC market and may be enteredinto as a bilateral contract (“OTC swaps”) or centrally cleared(“centrally cleared swaps”). These periodic payments receivedor made are recorded in the Statement of Operations andChanges in Net Assets as net realised gains or losses,respectively. Swaps are valued utilising quotes received daily bythe Funds’ pricing service, central clearing houses or brokers,which are derived using daily swap curves and models thatincorporate a number of market data factors, such asdiscounted cash flows, trades and values of the underlyingreference instruments. In a centrally cleared swap, immediatelyfollowing execution of the swap agreement, the swapagreement is novated to a clearing counterparty and the Fundfaces the clearing counterparty through a broker. Upon enteringinto a centrally cleared swap, the Fund is required to depositinitial margin with the broker in the form of cash or certaineligible securities in an amount that varies depending on thesize and risk profile of the particular swap. Any upfrontpayments made or received upon entering a swap contract aretreated as part of the swap’s net realised gain or loss. The dailychange in valuation of centrally cleared swaps is recorded as areceivable or payable for variation margin in “Cash at bank” or“Cash owed to bank” position of the Statement of Net Assetsuntil the centrally cleared swap is terminated at which time a netrealised gain or loss is recorded. The net change in unrealisedappreciation or depreciation and the net realised gains or losseson Swap transactions are disclosed in Statement of Operationsand Changes in Net Assets. Interest income receivable andexpense payable on swaps is accrued on a daily basis anddisclosed in a net position as �Interest and dividends receivable�or �Interest and dividends payable� in the Statement of NetAssets. The Funds had unsettled swap transactions as of31 May 2021, which are included within �Receivable forinvestments sold� and �Payable for investments purchased� inthe Statement of Net Assets. Swaps are separately disclosed inthe Portfolio of Investments.

Net realised gains and losses on sales of swaps have beendetermined on the basis of the First In First Out (“FIFO”) costmethod.

Funds may purchase “To Be Announced” securities contracts(“TBAs”). This refers to the common trading practice in themortgage-backed securities market whereby a contract ispurchased which entitles the buyer to a security from amortgage pool for a fixed price at a future date. At the time ofpurchase the exact security is not known, but its maincharacteristics are specified. Although the price has beenestablished at the time of purchase, the principal value has notbeen finalised. As a TBA is not settled at the time of purchase,this may lead to leveraged positions within a Fund. Purchasing aTBA involves a risk of loss if the value of the security to bepurchased declines prior to the settlement date. Risks may alsoarise upon entering into these contracts from the potentialinability of counterparties to meet the terms of their contracts.TBAs are separately disclosed at the end of the Portfolio ofInvestments.

The Funds may dispose of a commitment prior to settlement if itis deemed appropriate to do so. Proceeds of TBA sales are notreceived until the contractual settlement date. During the time a

TBA sale commitment is outstanding, equivalent deliverablesecurities, or an offsetting TBA purchase commitment(deliverable on or before the sale commitment date), are held ascover for the transaction.

If the TBA sale commitment is closed through the acquisition ofan offsetting purchase commitment, the Fund realises a gain orloss on the commitment without regard to any unrealised gain orloss on the underlying security.

Notes to the Financial Statements continued

BlackRock Strategic Funds[594]

assets of a Fund deviates from the carrying value of theseassets in the Fund’s valuation, due to factors such as dealingand brokerage charges, taxes and duties, market movement andany spread between the buying and selling prices of theunderlying assets. Dilution may have an adverse effect on thevalue of a Fund and therefore impact Shareholders. Byadjusting the NAV per Share this effect can be reduced orprevented and Shareholders can be protected from the impactof dilution. The Directors may adjust the NAV of a Fund if onany Dealing Day the value of the aggregate transactions inShares of all Share Classes of that Fund results in a netincrease or decrease which exceeds one or more thresholdsthat are set by the Directors for that Fund. The amount by whichthe NAV of a Fund may be adjusted on any given Dealing Day isrelated to the anticipated cost of market dealing for that Fund. Insuch circumstances the NAV of the relevant Fund may beadjusted by an amount not exceeding 1.50%, or 3% in the caseof bond Funds, of that NAV. Under exceptional circumstancesthe Directors may, in the interest of Shareholders, decide totemporarily increase the maximum swing factor indicated aboveand inform investors thereof. The adjustment will be an additionwhen the net movement results in an increase in the value of allShares of the Fund and a deduction when it results in adecrease.

As certain stock markets and jurisdictions may have differentcharging structures on the buy and sell sides, particularly inrelation to duties and taxes, the resulting adjustment may bedifferent for net inflows than for net outflows. In addition, theDirectors may also agree to include extraordinary fiscal chargesin the amount of the adjustment. These extraordinary fiscalcharges vary from market to market and are currently expectednot to exceed 2.5% of that NAV. Where a Fund invests primarilyin certain asset types, such as government bonds or moneymarket securities, the Directors may decide that it is notappropriate to make such an adjustment. In accordance with theProspectus, such dilution adjustment was applied as at 31 May2021 to BlackRock Global Real Asset Securities Fund.

During the financial year from 1 June 2020 to 31 May2021 dilution adjustments were applied to all Funds.

The published/dealing NAV per share is disclosed in the ThreeYear Summary of Net Asset Values and may include a dilutionadjustment. This adjustment is not recognised in the Statementof Net Assets or the Statement of Operations and Changes inNet Assets.

INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of BlackRock Strategic Funds (the “Company”) and of each of its sub-funds,

which comprise the statement of net assets and the portfolio of investments as at 31 May 2021 and the statement of

operations and changes in net assets for the year then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a

summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements give a true and fair view of the financial position of the Company

and of each of its sub-funds as at 31 May 2021, and of the results of their operations and changes in their net assets for

the year then ended in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and

presentation of the financial statements.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Law of 23 July 2016 on the audit profession (Law of 23 July 2016) and

with International Standards on Auditing (ISAs) as adopted for Luxembourg by the Commission de Surveillance du

Secteur Financier (CSSF). Our responsibilities under the Law of 23 July 2016 and ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by

the CSSF are further described in the “Responsibilities of the Independent Auditor for the Audit of the Financial

Statements” section of our report. We are also independent of the Company in accordance with the International Code

of Ethics for Professional Accountants, including International Independence Standards, issued by the International

Ethics Standards Board for Accountants (IESBA Code) as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF together with the

ethical requirements that are relevant to our audit of the financial statements, and have fulfilled our other ethical

responsibilities under those ethical requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and

appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Other information

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the other information. The other information comprises the

information stated in the annual report but does not include the financial statements and our Independent Auditor’s report

thereon.

Our opinion on the financial statements does not cover the other information and we do not express any form of

assurance conclusion thereon.

[608] BlackRock Strategic Funds

In connection with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the other information and, in doing

so, consider whether the other information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or our knowledge

obtained in the audit or otherwise appears to be materially misstated. If, based on the work we have performed, we

conclude that there is a material misstatement of this other information, we are required to report this fact. We have

nothing to report in this regard.

Responsibilities of the Board of Directors of the Company for the Financial Statements

The Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial

statements in accordance with Luxembourg legal and regulatory requirements relating to the preparation and

presentation of the financial statements, and for such internal control as the Board of Directors of the Company

determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement,

whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, the Board of Directors of the Company is responsible for assessing the

Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using

the going concern basis of accounting unless the Board of Directors of the Company either intends to liquidate the

Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Responsibilities of the Independent Auditor for the Audit of the Financial Statements

The objectives of our audit are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are

free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report of the Independent Auditor that

includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit

conducted in accordance with the Law dated 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the CSSF will

always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered

material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of

users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Law dated 23 July 2016 and with ISAs as adopted for Luxembourg by the

CSSF, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

• Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error,

design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and

appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The r isk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from

fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,

misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

• Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are

appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiv eness of the

Company’s internal control.

• Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and

related disclosures made by the Board of Directors of the Company.

Annual report and audited financial statements [609]

• Conclude on the appropriateness of the Board of Directors of the Company use of the going concern basis of

accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or

conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we

conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our report of the Independent

Auditor to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our

opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our report of the

Independent Auditor. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a

going concern.

• Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures,

and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that

achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing

of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during

our audit.

BlackRock Strategic Funds[616]

Global ExposureIn accordance with current BlackRock policy, global exposure is measured using the “Commitment Approach” or the Value at Risk(“VaR”) approach which considers the full constituents of the portfolio.

The Commitment Approach is a methodology that aggregates the underlying market or notional values of financial derivativeinstruments to determine the degree of global exposure of a Fund to financial derivative instruments.

Pursuant to the 2010 Law, the global exposure for a Fund under the Commitment Approach must not exceed 100% of that Fund’sNet Asset Value.

Below is the list of Funds that follow the Commitment Approach:

� BlackRock European Unconstrained Equity Fund� BlackRock Global Real Asset Securities Fund� BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios – Conservative� BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios – Defensive� BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios – Growth� BlackRock Managed Index Portfolios – Moderate� BlackRock Systematic ESG World Equity Fund� BlackRock Systematic Global Equity Fund

VaR is a statistical risk measure that estimates the potential loss from adverse market movements in an ordinary marketenvironment.

The VaR calculations for the BlackRock Strategic Funds, with the exception of the BlackRock Global Event Driven Fund, are basedon an adjusted historical simulation model. The VaR model used for the BlackRock Global Event Driven Fund is a Monte Carlosimulation model. Both models use a confidence level of 99%, a holding period of one day and a historical observation period ofnot less than one year (250 days). A VaR number is defined at a specified probability and a specified time horizon. A 99% one dayVaR means that the expectation is that 99% of the time over a one day period the Fund will lose no more than this number inpercentage terms. Therefore, higher VaR numbers indicate higher risk.

The VaR model used by BlackRock Risk & Quantitative Analysis (“RQA”) is an adjusted historical simulation model.

For Funds which use a relative VaR approach RQA determines a reference portfolio as the basis for the relative VaR calculation.The reference portfolio is typically the index benchmark also established as the reference point for performance data in respect ofthe relevant Fund. This is an index (or composite of indices) constructed by a recognised index provider(s) from relevant securitieswhich are eligible for investment by the Funds. This process gives appropriate consideration to the availability of indices withconstruction rules which are themselves compliant with diversification rules.

Where a Fund is monitored using VaR, the Investment Advisers will observe the regulatory limit and any internal risk limits whichmay be appropriate for the portfolio.

The table below details the highest, lowest and average utilisation of the VaR limit, expressed as a percentage of the respectiveabsolute or relative VaR regulatory limit. For relative VaR, the VaR of the respective Fund’s portfolio will not exceed twice the VaR ofthe reference portfolio. Utilisation refers to the level of risk taken in this context.

LeverageThe use of derivatives may expose Funds to a higher degree of risk. In particular, derivative contracts can be highly volatile, and theamount of initial margin is generally small relative to the size of the contract so that transactions may be leveraged in terms ofmarket exposure. A relatively small market movement may have a potentially larger impact on derivatives than on standard bonds orequities. Leveraged derivative positions can therefore increase Funds volatility.

For the purposes of this disclosure, leverage is the investment exposure gained through the use of financial derivative instruments.It is calculated using the sum of the notional values of all of the financial derivative instruments held by the relevant Fund, withoutnetting, and is expressed as a percentage of the NAV.

Disclosed in the table below is the level of leverage employed during the year.

Efficient Portfolio Management TechniquesThe Company may, on behalf of each Fund and subject to the conditions and within the limits laid down by the CSSF and theProspectus, employ techniques and instruments relating to transferable securities, including investments in OTC Financial DerivativeInstruments (“FDIs”) provided that such techniques and instruments are used for efficient portfolio management purposes or toprovide protection against exchange risk or for direct investment purposes, where applicable.

Securities Lending and Total Return Swaps (including CFDs)All securities lending transactions entered into by the Funds are subject to a written legal agreement between the Funds and theSecurities Lending Agent, BlackRock Advisors (UK) Limited, a related party to the Company, and separately between the SecuritiesLending Agent and the approved borrowing counterparty. Collateral received in exchange for securities lent is transferred under atitle transfer arrangement and is delivered to and held in an account with a tri-party collateral manager in the name of theDepositary on behalf of the Funds. Collateral received is segregated from the assets belonging to the Funds’ Depositary or theSecurities Lending Agent.

All TRS (including CFDs) are entered into by the Funds under an International Swaps and Derivatives Associations, Inc. MasterAgreement (“ISDA Master Agreement”) or similar agreement. An ISDA Master Agreement is a bilateral agreement between theFunds and a counterparty that governs OTC FDIs (including TRS and CFDs) entered into by the parties. The parties’ exposuresunder the ISDA Master agreement are netted and collateralised together, therefore any collateral disclosures provided in this reportare in respect of all OTC FDIs entered into by the Funds under the ISDA Master Agreement, not just TRS and CFDs. All non-cashcollateral received/posted by the Funds under the ISDA Master Agreement is transferred bilaterally under a title transferarrangement.

The following table details the value of securities on loan as a proportion of the Funds’ total lendable assets and NAV and the valueof TRS (including CFDs) as a proportion of the Funds’ NAV, as at 31 May 2021 and the income/returns earned for the year ended31 May 2021. Total lendable assets represent the aggregate value of assets forming part of the Funds’ securities lendingprogramme. The value of TRS (including CFDs) is based on the underlying exposure value on a gross absolute basis.
